MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, MSNBC HOST: Good evening Americans. Welcome to the Ed Show all the way live from New York. I`m Michael Eric Dyson in for Ed Schultz. Let`s get to work.

(BEGIN-VIDEO CLIP)

JOHN BOEHNER, (R-OH) HOUSE SPEAKER: I don`t know whether we`re going to get to it this year or not.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Immigration officials are moving more than a thousand undocumented children to this make shift detention center this weekend.

BOEHNER: The appetite amongst my colleagues for doing this is not really good.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: To put a little bit of wire on top here to provide a distance .

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Nearly 50,000 children across the border alone since October.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We can also electrify this wire.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Children were sleeping in plastic containers under foil blankets.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There are kids that were brought into this country by their parents.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And there are some as young as eight.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There`s another 100 out there that they weigh 130 pounds and they`ve got calves the size of antelope.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We see the very dark side of what happens when we don`t have a policy.

ERIC CANTOR, HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER: Before anything else, that there is border security and implementation reform.

(END-VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: My fellow Americans, let`s be honest here. Republicans draw round terms like illegal alien hoping to sterilize the issue of immigration. They focus on fences and drug mules. They say amnesty like it`s a bad word. Trust me, it ain`t a mistake.

Republicans anti immigrant rhetoric makes their refusal to address comprehensive immigration reform an easier pill to swallow. It allows them to gloss over the fact that we`re talking about real human beings. Human beings like the one you seen here.

These photos were leaked last week to conservative website Breitbart News. They alleged to give us a look inside of customs and border protection processing center. These are the victims of Republican obstruction. As you can see many of them are just children crammed into overcrowded cell sharing blankets and sleeping together on whatever floor space they can find.

NBC News` Mark Potter reports on the hundreds of undocumented immigrant children held at detention centers in Arizona.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MARK POTTER, NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT: The unaccompanied children are being bused to the U.S. border patrol station in Nogales, Arizona after overflowing detention facilities in South Texas.

More 700 children from the Central American countries at El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala are housed together now in a converted warehouse where they are screened by authorities. With even more kids en route, federal officials are scrambling to provide enough portable toilets, cots, water, food and showers as the state supplies vaccines for children some very young who`ve been through a rough ordeal even after they were caught.

TONY BANEGAS: There are children who have not taken a bath in nine days. They are still wearing the same clothes.

POTTER: Since last October, more than 47,000 unaccompanied children mostly from Central America have been apprehended trying to enter the U.S. illegally. Just this morning, this group from El Salvador, ages nine to 18, was picked up by Texas police after crossing the Rio Grande in search of their parents already here.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (Foreign Language).

POTTER: This girl saying of their journey, "We all took care of each other. The little ones we would we send upfront." They are part of a sur-origin (ph) Central American immigration that began a few years ago as many fled the violence, poverty and drug gangs there.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We perceived that the journey is frightening, traumatizing and probably will scare (ph) them for the rest of their lives.

POTTER: Last week, President Obama declared a humanitarian crisis in order that FEMA to care for the children. Moving kids to Arizona, though further strained relations with Governor Jan Brewer, who is still angry over federal authorities dropping off undocumented families at bus stations in two sudden (ph) feedings recently. She blames the current surge on border security lapses.

And here in Nogales, Central American consulate officials say they believe the children are being treated well given the circumstances as U.S. officials try to get ahead of this border crisis that shows no sign of letting up.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: My friends, we witnessed an unprecedented spike of undocumented children attempting to enter the U.S. So far in the 2014 fiscal year, about 47,000 children have been apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border. That`s a 92 percent increase over the previous year.

According to the New York Times, federal officials predicted at least 60,000 unaccompanied minors would try to cross into the U.S. this year. An interagency memo from a border patrol official reveals that number has been revised up to more than 90,000.

At this point, we`ve been conditioned to expect dysfunction in Washington. At this point, it`s hard to imagine Republicans and Democrats working together to find common ground on practically any issue. Sure, there is reason to be cynical but even the most harden cynic should be outraged and demand action when a humanitarian crisis like this one happens right here on our soil.

We claim to be religious. We claim to be Christian. We claim to love God. How can you love God whom you`ve have never seen and yet not love the children who you see everyday?

Get your cellphones out. I want to know what you think. Tonight`s question, "Will this story wake American up on immigration reform?" Text A of yes, text B for no to 67622, or go to our blog at ed.msnbc.com. I`ll bring you the following results later in the show.

ELLIOT SPAGAT, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Well, the White House official said today that they are preparing for three military bases to open up, to handle some of these children. Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio has room for about 12,000 based in Ventura, California, room for about 600 in Fort Sill, Oklahoma which I believe is 600 to 1,200 something like that which still won`t be enough to handle the massive number of people that are crossing.

Right now, as of yesterday, there were 700 plus children as you said mostly from Central America who had crossed in Texas that were in this converted warehouse in Nogales and that number the Homeland Security official told us is expected to double to about 1,400. The flights are just coming in whenever they`re free and the Department of Health and Human Services is trying to locate -- they`re trying to place these children in shelters but I think 60 left Sunday, 40 on Friday, so it`s -- they`re leaving slowly.

The military bases aren`t unexpected to open until Saturday because there`s a certain 14-day waiting period required for the children to be screened. So that will be a big a relief when it opens but it`s still probably won`t be enough.

DYSON: Well, I was going to ask you. Are we realistically to expect that there will be a wrapping up of attention here and that these children will be treated and then processed, or do you think it`s going to be a kind of quagmire?

SPAGAT: You know, it depends on how many more people cross. And so that`s always hard to know. I mean this is -- the Obama administration announced on Monday that they had asked Congress for an additional $1.4 billion to deal with this issue and appointed FEMA to oversee the efforts and I think, you know, it`s reached as they put it in a crisis situation. You know, this was not what anybody would want.

As your report said, it`s getting better that Central American consulates or official say so. But the border patrol facilities like the one in Nogales is not designed for custody. Border patrol in general keeps people for two or three hours and then turns them over to immigration in customs enforcement to make a decision as to what to do either put them in a detention facility or in the case of children, they`re turned over to Health and Human Services to be put in a shelter.

But border patrol is not designed for this. This was a warehouse that was never used for detention. It was used to house -- a few years ago, it was used to housed people for two or three hours while they waited for flights back to Mexico. So there were kids sleeping on plastic boards for a while. The first arrived a week ago Saturday, so that`d be May 31st. Some mattresses were arriving, some toothpaste, and toothbrushes were supposed to arrive today according to consulates or officials.

They`re still -- the showers arrived, I think it was the Honduran official who told me yesterday there were four showers in these facilities. So it`s getting better but it`s still not what anybody thinks it should be.

DYSON: Sure. So who are the people on the ground at these detention centers blaming for the crisis? I mean they`ve got to find some kind of, you know, justification going on here for the activity or the lack of activity, but what the frustration level? It`s got to be high there.

SPAGAT: So I mean the explanation, the common explanation that administration gave today and has given before is that this is all about turmoil in Central America. And I should say this is -- the problem is that these people are mostly coming -- these children are mostly coming from Central America. If they were from Mexico which for decades has been the main sending area to the U.S. for people in the country illegally, they would just be turned around to Mexico and it would really be Mexico`s problem. They would be put in Mexican Shelters and it would be the Mexican government`s responsibility to deal with this.

But because they are in Central America, we don`t have an adjourning border. They have to be flown back and that gets very complicated. It takes time in dealing with consulates to verify the identities, to get spaces on the flights. So, you know, to your question though, it`s problems in central America, violence in Honduras I think has the highest murder rate in the world, a lot of drug fueled violence that is pushing the children here.

There is also the point of view that some Republicans, lawmakers, and other critics to the administration emphasized that the word is getting out in Central America that you`re going to get released if you come, you know, the administration obviously is very eager to discourage that talk and, you know, and today emphasized that there will be place -- the children will be placed in removal proceedings.

So they`re very eager to get the word out that this is not a free ticket to the U.S.

DYSON: No doubt. Eliot Spagat, thank you so much for your time tonight.

DYSON: All right. Look, let`s get right to the point. This is your bailiwick. Do we have a moral obligation to address this issue?

DIONNE: Oh, I think we do have a moral obligation to address the immigration issue even if this particular flood of young, you know, child immigrants here is in fact generated internally by developments in Latin American.

We have been breaking up families with our immigration policy and we`re supposed to as a country care a lot about family values. We have a lot of people here as we keep saying in the shadows of whose situations are uncertain, who can exercise their rights at work or elsewhere. And I think that there is a consensus in the country on this. The polling is quite consistent that roughly six Americans and 10 at least believe in a solution to this problem that we give people a path to citizenship if they met certain requirements. And I think what`s happening is that the Republican leadership in Congress is very reluctant to split their own caucus.

I think it`s pretty clear from things he says on some days that Speaker Boehner wants to do something about this. He is criticized his own members on occasion and yet on other occasions he wants to say, "Well, we can`t make a deal because President Obama can`t be trusted." and when Democrats say, "All right. We will pass something and it won`t take effect until after President Obama leaves office." that doesn`t seemed to work either. But we do have an obligation to fix our immigration policy and lots of religious leaders, conservative, as well as progressive in our country. I have been saying that for quite sometime.

DYSON: Yeah. With the help of that sense of obligation translate it into some political policy and some public policy that might help. As you`ve already indicated, many Republicans are blaming the president for this stalemate. They say his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA has caused undocumented immigrants to believe women and children are allowed to stay. Can you explain that? Can this really be blamed on a rumor like that?

DIONNE: Well, I suppose you can blame anything for anything these days especially if it involves President Obama. I mean the fact is that under President Obama, we`ve had more deportations than we`ve had in the past. And I think the president is starting to give indications that he has more problems with -- or sort of our deporting porting so many people, which again raises the problem of breaking up families. And he has done this partly to show good faith to say, "Look, I do not want illegal. I don`t support illegal immigration, but I do want a solution to this problem." and I think if Congress continues to sit on its hands, if the Republicans keep blocking something, I think he`s going to have to revisit that deportation policy.

One quick thing, Chuck Todd said something interesting this morning on his show that Eric Cantor, who faces a Tea Party primary this month has been talking about how he has blocked amnesty for illegal immigrants. I think he may have even be a larger obstacle for now to immigration reform even though on the other side he too like Speaker Boehner has talked about finding some solutions to these problems.

DYSON: Well, it`s a political mess but even the moral position here has to be staked, right? The ethical imperative to do good by those who were vulnerable, what about all of these family values discourse that we put out here, the rhetoric of the right to say they are concerned about the family? Doesn`t this suggest to us that there is a gap between the ethics that are being espoused and the practices that are really undermining those ethics here?

DIONNE: The short answer is, yes, absolutely. I mean as a I said earlier I agree with you totally that the family values issue in terms of what we are doing to break up families is one of the most important issues at stake here. That`s why the nations Roman Catholic bishops have been so active. They are -- about a month or so ago, they said mass on the border and actually Cardinal O`Malley in Boston past communion through the border fence to someone on the other side.

I think they are saying and again this transcends ideology among Catholics, you know, very conservative as well as very progressive Catholics are saying that if you care about the family as well as the well being and the least among us, you can`t let our immigration situation stay like it is.

DYSON: E.J. Dionne, a well-known preacher, as well as a moralist.

DIONNE: You`re the preacher, Professor.

DYSON: Thank you so much for you time, Professor Dionne.

DIONNE: Good to be with you.

DYSON: All right. Remember to answer tonight`s question there at the bottom of the screen and share your thoughts on Twitter at Ed Show and on Facebook. We want to know what you think.

Coming up, more details are emerging about this weekend`s deadly shooting rampage and the killer`s possible motives. The Rapid Response Panel weighs in.

Plus, a tribute to the life and legacy of my dear friend Maya Angelou, poet and activist Jessica Care Moore joins me.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

DYSON: Welcome back to the Ed Show.

Late breaking developments in this weekends Las Vegas shooting are opening our eyes tonight. A shooting rampage in Las Vegas has left five people dead including the two suspected shooters. All signs show this senseless act of violence was committed by anti government activists.

Now, just take a minute to think about that. We are living in a nation where there has been a steady drum beat and constant commentary about how horrible this nation is. Those who claim to be patriots are leading the charge. Right-wing media and Conservative politicians have drummed into the unconscious collectively of this nation that this is not a country worthy of being led by the man who`s been chosen to lead this nation.

So when you attack him, you really attack all of us. Even those of us who oppose of political candidate should not subvert, undermined, destroy, distort, or otherwise circumscribe the flourishing of democracy. In other words, you and I are still American citizens. Let`s not beat up on the nation even as we disagree with one another.

When we delegitimate the President, when we delegitimate the authority of government, when we delegitimate the state, what we are doing is challenging the legitimacy of sworn officials to uphold that law. And we negotiate the difference not at the polls where we should, not in common civil discourse where we should, but we end up engaging in especially our right-wing brothers and sisters and those conservative politicians and some of the most nefarious and vicious assaults upon the humanity of our opponents and we end up making the state look as if it`s the greatest enemy in the world. And when the state is seen as the greatest enemy in the world, those officials like our police people and others who are sworn to uphold the law are seen as the likely marks for those who are vulnerable to such vicious rhetoric.

If you are American and you love this nation, you must stop the banter. You must stop the constant drum beat of negativity that rose so easily and so glibly from the tongues of those who are conservative politicians and right-wing media. And guess what? You are not the most vulnerable victims of such vicious assault. It is common, ordinary American citizens who uphold that law. So I call upon you in the name of our common civil and if you will engaged democracy, stop the viciousness.

According to witnesses, the couple shouted, "This is a revolution and we are freedom fighters." Earlier today, the Clark County Sheriff`s Office release details on the shooting.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KEVIN MCMAHILL, ASSISTANT SHERIFF, CLARK COUNTY: They walked past our officers who were eating lunch and (inaudible) and immediately upon passing them, Jared Miller pulled a hand gun out and shot officer Saldo one time in the back of his head. Officer Saldo immediately come to his injuries. At that time, officer Beck immediately began to react when he was confronted with lethal gun fire from Jared Miller and he was shot once in the throat area.

What happened after that very quickly was that Amanda Miller then removes a hand gun from her purse and both Jared and Amanda Miller fired multiple shots into officer Beck.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: Suspect Jared Miller covered officer Beck`s body with a Revolutionary War Era Gadsden flag which read, "Don`t tread on me." He also put a swastika on top of his body.

Jared Miller went on to pin a note of officer Saldo`s body that read, "The revolution has begun." The suspects then fled to a nearby Wal-Mart where they killed another person before killing themselves.

A neighbor of the Millers told NBC News, the couple`s anti-government views intensified after they attended the standoff at Cliven Bundy`s Nevada Ranch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LARRY BURNETTE, SHOOTERS NEIGHBOR: After a while, after the Bundy thing going on over there. They went over there for a couple of days and then they come back and I guess after that, Jared became anti-government, anti-police, he -- I mean, he was talking about killing cops. He didn`t want nothing to do with the government. He has his wife quit her job that she`s had for a while and hell he wouldn`t even let her take the unemployment or food stamps or anything.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Anti-government?

BURNETTE: Anti-government.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: There are reports Jared Miller was kicked off the Bundy ranch for having a criminal record. A reporter forum, our local affiliate KNSB (ph) actually caught up with Jared Miller at the Bundy standoff.

Here is what Miller had to say.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JARED MILLER, SUSPECTED SHOOTER: My name is Jared Miller, J-A-R-E-D M-I-L-L-E-R. The federal government is not almighty God, you know, they can`t just go around pushing people around doing whatever they want anymore.

I feel sorry for any federal agents that want to come in here and try to push us around or anything like that. I really don`t want violence for them, but if they`re going to come bring violence to us, well, if that`s the language they want to speak, we`ll learn it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: My friends, my brothers, and sisters look at the relationship between the kind of vicious anti-status rhetoric that we hear pouring out of the mouths of right-wing politicians, and conservative ideologues, and the kind of thing repeated here, and look at the violent consequence.

Had there been a rapper out there saying such violent things and somebody acted upon his words, we would beat up on rep. If a Hollywood actor said such invidious things, we`d beat up on the Hollywood actor. It`s time for us to hold conservative politicians and right-wing ideologues accountable for the deadly, deathly consequences of their vicious rhetoric.

Police said they are investigating any connection between the Bundy standoff and the Millers.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MCMAHILL: As you all know there was convergence of not only Malaysia but white supremacists and sovereign citizens to the Bundy ranch. We continue to look at any connectivity that Jared or Amanda Miller may have to that previous action.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: The Miller`s neighbor went on to say, Jared Miller did make threats against law enforcement.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BURNETTE: Later on, he started talking about killing cops. And I told myself, you can`t be doing that, you know. That`s not right, man. I mean my mom is a retired police officer, you can`t be doing this.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why did you say he wanted to kill cops?

BURNETTE: I think it was this (inaudible). I thought it was looting there at first. I thought he was talking out of his, you know, (inaudible).

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So you just didn`t take it seriously?

BURNETTE: No, hell, no. I didn`t take it seriously. Believe me, if I had known that they were actually going to do something like this I would have called Metro.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: He`s not lonely (ph). This is a culture that reproduces a pathology. Anti-status rhetoric leads to these vicious consequences. Yes, I said it. There`s a correlation between the two and until we take that seriously, all of these vicious rhetoric that we hear out here, all of these assault upon the president and the state and the legitimacy and authority of it, it has to be taken into consideration here before we engage in such actions that will then really contradict the very country we claim to love.

I`m not saying we can`t be critical of the state, I`m not saying we can`t be critical of officials, I`m suggesting that that criticism should be couched in terms that are respectful of the humanity of our opponents even as we vigorously argue against their particular position.

Another neighbor said that Jared Miller spoke of overthrowing the government often.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Jared was a very controlling man. He always wanted to talk about overthrowing the government and how Obama is -- he is disgusting.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: See what I mean? You ain`t got to be a genius to figure out the correlation between the two.

At this point, the motive of the shooting is not entirely clear the law enforcement. Officials did say they believe the swastika was a symbol equating law enforcement to fascism.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MCMAHILL: We don`t necessarily believe that they are white supremacist or associated with the Nazi movement. We believe that they equate government and law enforcement fascism and those who support it with Nazis.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: That constant drum beat from our neighbors to the right who consider the government the problem and not the solution, who are constantly delegitimating and vilifying elected officials who are constantly holding those that they disagree with in -- of the kind of most ridiculous and disrespectful light. This is the consequence of your behavior and your belief.

Reports show this shooting may have been a show of violence against the government. I think it`s fair to call this event and act of domestic terrorism. Had it been a Muslim person? We would have rushed to do so, because as an American citizen, we are loathed to do so. This my friends is an unmistakable act of the domestic terrorism.

And later, President Obama speaks out against climate change deniers as he makes his intentions on environmental policy clear. Jane Kleeb joins me.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MCMAHILL: The suspects pulled the officers out of the booth and onto the ground where they placed a Gadsden flag which is a, "Don`t tread on me", yellow flag on the body of officer Beck. They also throw a swastika on top of his body.

At that point, Mr. Jared Miller, they unpinned a note to officer Saldo that basically stated that this is the beginning of the revolution.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: Let`s get right back into the story of the shooting in Las Vegas and its clear connections to anti-government activist.

Joining us is Richard Cohen, President of the Southern Poverty Law Center and Former Montana Governor and MSNBC Contributor Brian Schweitzer.

Governor, your initial reaction to this shooting.

FORMER GOVERNOR BRIAN SCHWEITZER, MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR: Well I think it was first reported, I think by the Washington Times and then other credible sources that these folks had actually been out at the Bundy ranch. And as you recall, Ed and others were warning month and a half ago telling these conservative radio and television host and some of these Republican politicians, they were calling these people that were showing up at the Bundy ranch, pointing guns at law-enforcement patriots.

And Ed warned us and many people said, "Look you`ve got to tone this thing down. We`re a country of laws. We can`t encourage people to point guns at law-enforcement."

And there`s another thing happening in the Republican Party and in the Tea Party and that`s a dog whistle to bring these racists in. I need to hear from Tea Party leaders, it was the flag that they have as their symbol, the Gadsden flag that was place on these officers.

I need to hear some leaders if there are in the Tea Party condemning this action, condemning racism. And I certainly showed here from some of these Republican politicians who called these people patriots.

It`s time to come together as a country. This rhetoric is not helpful.

DYSON: Richard, Governor Schweitzer makes a very powerful point here in terms of correlating the kind of views that have been, you know, relentlessly processed and promoted from the right-wing, especially some elements of the Tea Party and what we saw going on this tragic shooting. Do you think anti-government views played the role that so many of us obviously filled it in?

RICHARD COHEN, SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER: I think it`s without question, true. I don`t want to vilify everybody in the Tea Party. There are lots of reasons to be angry at our government. But we have to, you know, we have to recognize that they`re crazed conspiracy theories running through it and crazed, you know, racism running through it.

You know, since the President has been elected there`s been a tremendous increase in the number of these anti-government groups, these number of militias. About 149 groups we counted in 2008, last year we counted over a thousand. And, you know, they`re reacting to the presence of an African-American president. They`re being wept into hysteria by, you know, these crazy conspiracy theories that one hears on talk radio and on certain television programs. You know, it`s a real combustible mix.

DYSON: No doubt about it. You know, Richard, a neighbor said she was not alarm by threats. So have threats become so common that people are immune to their -- meaning I`ll ask you that first before I ask Governor Schweitzer.

COHEN: I hope not. You know, the Supreme Court, some cases are pending right now that might give us more definition of what`s a true threat, what can be prosecuted and what not. I think it`s really incredibly important for law enforcement to be vigilant. I think it`s important to train police officers for the signs of kind of radical antigovernment groups that been some offers some killed because they didn`t understand who they were dealing with.

It`s important that law enforcement share information. And it`s important as the governor said for, you know, responsible people not to lionize the, you know, the Cliven Bundys of the world. But to, you know, recognize them from what they are, dangerous zealots.

DYSON: Right. Well, governor, one of the shooters was president at the Cliven Bundy`s ranch. Could the situation there have sparked the shooting? We`re trying to figure out that all of that viscous assault upon duly elected officials and the government writ large has led to this kind of punitive, you know, and damaging consequence in a guy who takes up arm literally and thinks, "Well, I`m doing the right thing here, because I`m doing -- what I`m doing as an extension of what I heard there and many of the places."

SCHWEITZER: Well when you bring up a lot of people together they`re disgruntled for all kinds of separate reasons. And then they watch while some of them point guns at federal officials. It`s sort of emboldens the rest of them. I`ve talked to some people that have returned from the Bundy ranch here in Montana that are militia people and they have wild ideas. And it`s because they`ve been just talking to each other and it doesn`t have to be factual anymore.

If you have everybody that surrounding you, believes the same thing, it becomes an alternative reality for you. You know, since Obama was elected there`s been such a run on ammunition into a lesser extent guns. It hasn`t happened this way since the last time we had a Democrat in the White House. And part of it is the gun manufactures themselves are ginning this rhetoric up, using the NRA and people are buying bullets. And you can`t even buy bullets now.

This warehouse to say, "Look we`re out." We don`t know where all these guns and bullets are going but they are antigovernment people and it`s being ginned up because there`s a Democrats in the White House.

DYSON: Joining me now is Poet and Activist, Jessica Care Moore, founder of Black Woman Rock and author of Sunlight through the Bullet Holes. Jessica Care Moore, thank you so much for joining us.

JESSICA CARE MOORE, FOUNDER, BLACK WOMEN BLACK: Thank you so much for having Dr. Dyson, I appreciate it.

DYSON: Yes Ma`am. Look, let`s get right to the point. You were a phenomenal poet yourself.

MOORE: Yeah.

DYSON: .but obviously Maya Angelou.

MOORE: Thank you.

DYSON: .broke the mode. Tell us what you think made her so powerful, so engaging to so many millions.

MOORE: When I was introduced to Dr. Maya Angelou`s work. When I was just a little girl growing up in Detroit, I was just probably maybe nine of 10 years old, when I learned Phenomenal Women and I heard the words of, you know, I raised, still I raise and those words became a part of my DNA. You know, I wouldn`t have been able to be the poet that I am today or the woman that I am, has she not existed.

She`s a part of my subconscious, you know, was like black -- young black girls in particularly, you know, when you grow up and you see magazine cover that don`t look like you and then you read Maya Angelou`s work and you understand that you are beautiful. So I walked in that light and I took her into Junior High, into high school with me. And because she was possible I was possible.

DYSON: Right.

MOORE: And that was long before I even, you know, did the Apollo and that poem I wrote Black Statue of Liberty, that couldn`t have happen if phenomenal woman hadn`t already happen. If I would`ve been given the tools by Dr. Maya Angelou to say, "You are beautiful." It`s in the curve of your back, you know. It`s in your walk, you know. It`s in every -- it`s the way that you come into a room.

DYSON: Sure.

MOORE: And so, she`s so important still and will continue I think to be an important part of the literally cannon and see young girls everywhere all over the world.

DYSON: Now, when you think about her work as you so eloquently describe it there, how does that translate to a new generation that has a different sensibility when it come to poetry and yet poetry as you pulled by the success of your books and your performances is still relevant to the lives of young people?

MOORE: Well what`s beautiful about poetry is that it`s timeless. Good poems don`t go by, you know, poems don`t go out of style like you might put out of Rat record. And, you know, 10, 20 years later people, "Like remember that record? Yes, it was cool for a moment." But poetry when it`s well written, it truly timeless, it`s something that you can always pick up. I reread the book in house. My home is covered in poetry and books that I`ve read, Sonia Sanchez`s book and (inaudible), Gwendolyn Brooks.

I go back to these women writers constantly for reflection, for necessary inspiration, so I can remember how to write good poems. And so that`s the beauty of it. I mean, you know, a phenomenal woman isn`t going anywhere.

MOORE: Our babies in kindergarten and first grade, they even memorizing all of Mara Angelou`s work now. And so it`s the beauty of poetry. I mean, you know, we study the class six, modernism -- you know, to Eliot Whitman. But those poems are still here, you know. And I think Shakespeare, I don`t think those writers are going anywhere.

DYSON: All right. Well but we`ll add Jessica Care Moore to that cannon (ph) as well. Thank you so much for joining us here tonight.

DYSON: In Pretenders tonight, the Mickey Mouse snow, Janet Porter of the president of the conservative Faith2Action group condemned gay day at Disney world. The unofficial event welcomes LGBT individuals to the magic kingdom. Reporter has said the Teacup right has no room for homosexuals.

JANET PORTER: If your vacation plans include Disney world next week, you may want to rethink them. On Saturday June, 7th the homosexual agenda is planning to once again descend upon Disney world in Orlando Florida to expose your children to far more than Mickey Mouse and space mountain. While Disney world isn`t warning families, the Florida Family Association is among the groups flying airplane banners to warn families about the upcoming day when cross-dressing men will be among those parading public displays of perversion at Disney World.

DYSON: Janet Porter doesn`t need to bring her small minded bigotry to the "it`s a small world ride." If Janet Porter thinks she can spread hate to the happiest place on earth. She can keep on pretending.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

DYSON: Welcome back to the Ed show. This is the story for the folks who take a shower after work.

President Obama has taken a firm stands on the environment. Last week the EPA unveiled an ambitious new plan to reduce pollution. President Obama said, "Science is Science" in interview with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. Progressive groups are calling out the climate change deniers. American united for change release a new ad showcasing footage of Republican politicians disputing the validity of scientific claims about global warming.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REP STEVE STOCKMAN: The new fad thing is going to American around the world is called global warming.

SEN DAVID VITTER: I do not think the science clearly supports the global warming theory.

REP DON YOUNG: I think this is the biggest scam since the Teapot Dome.

RICK SANTORUM: The science just simply doesn`t back up the issue of global warming.

There is no such think as global warming.

REP TIM GRIFFEN: There are a lot of shenanigans going on with the data.

REP DAVID SCHWEIKERT: I don`t see the data. And I have not sat there with pages and pages of data.

SEN TED CRUZ: The data are not supporting with advocates are arguing. The last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

DYSON: Can this people listened Nelly, "It`s getting hot in here". President Obama says, for the rest of his term he aim to shift public opinion. But the real work is trying to shift policy. Jane Kleeb, executive director of Bold Nebraska joins me now. Thank you so much for joining us.

JANE KLEEB, EXEC DIRECTOR BOLD NEBRASKA: Yes, good to be with you.

DYSON: Do you think the president is doing enough to really bring this issue to poor (ph) and really to try to fight this deniers and what they claim to be true?

KLEEB I think his starting too. And I think you see, you know, you saw that last year with the Georgetown speech, where he actually really lay.

DYSON: Right.

KLEEB: .a very clear line in the sand saying that this is science and he made the case actually for denying Keystone XL, I would argue with that point.

DYSON: Right.

KLEEB: And he made a really good point to Thomas Friedman in the peace. He said "We as voters have to start taking -- having -- to keeping politician accountable and making them talk about climate change in a serious way and having honest discussion by energy policies." I think for too long including Democrats, we just didn`t want to talk about it. To complicated science, it`s too, you know, it just we don`t want to go there. We have got to start having those conversations.

DYSON: No doubt about that. Let me -- a reason Washington post and ABC news post said 70 percent of Americans support limit on greenhouse gases. But why do you think republican are still undeniable about this? Their acting like the post on existing that the gas house affects don`t take, you know, are not real.

KLEEB: I would hate to say it`s the simplified, but it is that their money of vast majority of political donation comes from big oil and big gas and big coal.

DYSON: Right, right.

KLEEB: And so we got to start to kind of realizing that they`re talking not for their constituents, not for carbon pollution that`s kind of consuming there the communities in their areas.

DYSON: Right.

KLEEB: Their speaking for their -- people who are lighting their pockets. It`s really that simple.

DYSON: Yeah it is pretty simple isn`t it? So the EPA`s new rule says, "Existing power plants must reduce carbon dioxide emission by 30 percent by 2030. Do you think that`s really enough?

KLEEB: It`s not enough to solve climate change but it absolutely a step on the right direction. Just like denying Keystone XL is not going to solve climate change but it`s a step in a right direction.

DYSON: Right.

KLEEB: To many times people said that climate change is inevitable. That tart sands is inevitable. Neither one of those is inevitable if we take the right steps. We`ve got to diversify our energy sources. And.

DYSON: Right.

KLEEB: . the 30 percent is not going mean all coal plants are getting shutdown or that even coal industry is going to lose their share of the market. It just means we going to diversify our energy base, just where we need to be.

DYSON: All right. So each state will be able to come up with its own plan to met the goal under the new EPA proposal. Briefly, do you think that`s a good think?

KLEEB: You know, will see, right? We saw some good and bad with ObamaCare, that was our first state experiment. And so if Republican is serious about state rights will take president Obama from his offer.
